Pictures after I’ve had a chance to process them.
Having sorted the Goose engine, we stayed the night in the hotel. Today (Friday, 9/16), we drove the rental car about 150 miles to the North Rim. Our America The Beautiful Senior Pass got us in free, bypassing the $30 charge. This pass has more than paid for its $80 cost already this year, and it’s good for a lifetime. We drove to the Grand Canyon lodge, where Steve Steele and I had dinner 43 years ago. Dining room was not yet open, so we got sandwiches at the deli. We sat on the sun porch looking over Angel Bright canyon, then walked out to Angel Bright point to take pictures. Deb made it all the way this time, despite the path having sheer drops on both sides in many places. Our hiking boots were very grippy, thank the Lord. We bought gew-gaws and tee shirts, doing our bit to support the local economy. We then drove back to the hotel, preparing to leave the next day.

Ah! The Great American Road Trip. Good times. I seem to remember it was kinda chilly on the North Rim when we were there and that we got a sprinkling or two of snow. I’m disappointed you didn’t ride the mules down into the canyon. But I guess time was a limiting factor.
